I generally play full-screen, but a friend wanted to play windowed; none of the instructions I could find worked properly, but I was able to get it running. From the terminal, run:
cd ~/Desktop/Dominions' 'II/dominions2.app/Contents/Resources/; ../MacOS/dominions2 -w --badmouse

Alternatively, make a little AppleScript:
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop/Dominions' 'II/dominions2.app/Contents/Resources/; ../MacOS/dominions2 -w --badmouse"

Thanks Ygorl. Good to see another OSX player out there. I don't often need to run windowed, but it's good to know how to do it.

Pretty sure there are a lot more osx Users on this board, as it is the best game we have. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

If you download and install the latest SDL for OSX you should not need the --badmouse switch anylonger. Get SDL here:

At least the change log mentions a fix for mouse coordinate inVersion, but I haven't tried it myself.
